Why Trustee Tim Burns Invests in Education to Safeguard Your Fund
El Paso Fire & Police Pension Fund Trustee Tim Burns shares why ongoing education matters — both in the fire service and in pension governance.
In this short interview, Tim talks about the value of training at the TEXPERS conference, staying current on markets and regulations, and learning from industry experts so he can make informed decisions for every member and retiree.
He also reflects on a recent session about blockchain and digital assets, emphasizing the importance of education before any board considers new investment ideas. As he puts it, the goal is simple: protect the fund, safeguard member benefits, and ensure long‑term stability for generations to come.
Tim closes with a message to members and city leaders: your pension is being protected with the same dedication and professionalism he brings to the safety of El Paso.

Understanding How Pension Funds Should Work With Securities Litigation Firms
In this short discussion, Paul Thompson, Harry Griffin, and Michael Canty break down what trustees need to know when evaluating securities litigation opportunities.
They were presenting at the Annual Conference of the Texas Association of Public Employees Retirement Systems in Galveston, Texas. The conference organizers provide presentations on investing, legal, and administrative matters to Trustees and administrators of pension systems across the state.
Paul explains why the right firm should prepare you well and make your work easier — not harder — and when a fund should start considering securities litigation based on size and investment structure. Harry raises the real‑world challenge of choosing among multiple firms offering different recommendations. Michael shares how firms’ investigations can differ, why conflicting advice isn’t unusual, and how trustees should approach their fiduciary role when deciding whether to lead a case.
A helpful, practical conversation for trustees and anyone involved in public fund governance.
